Coughton Court! Home of The Throckmorton family since 1409.
They were involved in everything:
Can’t stop talking about the Gunpowder Plot, when some catholics tried to blow up parliament. The Throckmorton Plot, when they tried to replace Elizabeth I with Mary, Queen of Scots and the love affair between Bess Throckmorton and Sir Walter Raleigh.
Even my garden group is fascinated by all this history, and we also saw the last dress Mary, Queen of Scots wore.
